Hello,
I'm running into a snag with my PCMCIA ether card in my notebook.
I've got FreeBSD 2.2.8 running, and pccardd setup with the
configuration for my card, which it detects, but for some reason,
the MAC address assigned to it is not what I believe the card is
supposed to have. Please have a look at the output that I have
included below. If you can provide any pointers toward fixing this,
I would very much appreciate your help.
This is what shows up on the console when I insert the card...
Card inserted, slot 1
Apr 19 01:52:31 myname pccardd[43]: Ether=00:00:1a:05:01:20
Slot 1, unfielded interrupt (0)
ed0: address aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa, type NE1000 (8 bit)
The problem that I have with this is that the card is an NE2000 (16
bit) card, and that address doesn't look quite like it would work
at all.
Here's what ifconfig shows me...
_$ ifconfig -a
lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
tun0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
tun1: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
ed0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 10.0.0.101 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255
ether aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa
Again, that funky ether address. There is also an error that shows
up on the console after the card has been in the slot for a while.
Here it is, in case it might provide some insight into the cause of
this problem...
Apr 19 01:53:23 myname /kernel: ed0: NIC memory corrupt - invalid
packet length 55295
As far as configuration goes, I have followed the instructions
(provided by you good people) very closely, but I believe that I
still may be missing something. Every set of instructions that I
have received has made mention of dumping the pccard's information
to a file. Well, here it is...
Configuration data for card in slot 0
Tuple #1, code = 0x1 (Common memory descriptor), length = 3

Config index = 0x20(default)
Interface byte = 0x81 (I/O) wait signal supported
Card decodes 5 address lines, limited 8/16 Bit I/O
IRQ modes: Pulse
IRQ level = 5
Tuple #9, code = 0x14 (No link), length = 0
Tuple #10, code = 0xff (Terminator), length = 0
2 slots found
I've been making mention of Tuple #4 in my pccard.conf file. In
fact, here is the entry for this card...
#D-Link DFE-650 Ethernet Card
card "D-Link" "DFE-650"
config 0x20 "ed0" 11
ether 0x81
insert echo D-Link DFE-650 inserted
insert /etc/pccard_ether ed0
remove echo D-Link DFE-650 removed
remove /sbin/ifconfig ed0 delete
I have irq 11 compiled into the kernel as belonging to the ed0 card.
I'm beginning to think that I've missed some small aspect of the
configuration, but going back over the instructions, I believe that
I have completed all of the steps. It's just getting the card
working when it's detected that is giving me problems.
If anyone can provide any suggestions on this situation, I'd be very
appreciative. I'm really looking forward to getting FreeBSD
completely working on this PC.
Thank you all for your help, and patience.
